[A method for diagnosis of early-stage cataract]

The method is based on eye fundus photography using a fundus-camera with a digital camera being built in. With its use, the diagnosis of cataract is based on the instrumental determination of the extent of darkening of the eye fundus shown in the color photograph depending on the degree of opacity the lens through which the eye fundus is photographed. This diagnostic technique rules out visual (by eye) determination of lenticular opacity. Solution of the set technical problem makes it possible to diagnose optically significant cataract and hence to define indications for anticataract surgery.
